    🥘 Main ingredients

    ingredients for a sweet potato curry
    • basmati rice
    • sweet potato
    • red pepper
    • onion
    • lime
    • ginger & garlic
    • red chilli pepper
    • ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika powder
    • fresh coriander
    • coconut cream
    • vegetable stock or water
    • spring onion
    • olive oil or other vegetable oil
    • salt & pepper

    💭 Thoughts and ideas

    I am normally the type of person who prefers using whole spices. But at the same time, sometimes I just have a last minute inspirational moment, and I just want to start cooking. Which is exactly what happened with this dish. So I used ground spices. But the next time I will make it, I will probably use whole spices, and even improve this delicious curry. I will let you know in the comments below 🙂

    I have chosen to have plain basmati with this dish, but of course there are many other options. Check out as well my chapati's in the bread submenu, which would be a great accompaniment with this dish.

    Curries in general are just the greatest dishes to mix and match to your liking. You can easily add a lot more vegetables to this curry. Like;

    • Green beans (for more colour)
    • fresh peas
    • Small pieces of broccoli or cauliflower
    • lentils (for extra protein)
    • nigella seeds, give it this distinguished flavour
    • You can top it with some nuts for a crunch, which would make it more Thai style.
    • Or top it with tangy grenade seeds

    🍷 Wine pairing

    wine in glass near bottle

    This dish would balance well with an aromatic viognier. Or if you are looking for a wine with higher acidity to cut through the creaminess you might want to try a Pinot Gris from the Alsace, which are generally fuller bodied than the Pinot Grigio from Italy, which in this case would balance the flavour intensity well.

    This creamy coconutty curry has endless mix and match options. You can read some ideas in my notes in the recipe below. And adjust it to your personal liking. I would LOVE to hear what you came up with, let me know in the comments below. If you post your sweet potato curry photo's on Instagram, make sure to add @haricoco1.
